    GP or maybe fuel issue?

    When your engine is warm and will not start try pouring a little cool water on the injection pump, see what happens. Also is it safe to assume you have cleaned the return check valve on the IP?

    Unfortunately not. I was lucky in that my M1009 came with the spare.

    Wheel Hub size?

    I measure right at 3.5 inches for the hub. Not sure about the price being good or not.

    fueltank and/or evap problems

    If not the lines then the lift pump? I gather you replaced it and used grease to hold the actuating rod in place while the pump is installed. It could be a new bad pump. If an electric pump that bypasses the mechanical pump and is fed from the tank works that would seem to indicate a...

    Oil in the bearings: Opinions wanted.

    After reading everything here it sounds like wet hubs would be the way to go but these machines were not designed for that. Anyhow I checked the oil in the differential and is was just barely running out so I drained it down a little to where it reads 1/2" below the bottom of the fill hole...

    starting issues

    Also the cable between the batteries can look fine from the outside but be corroded inside. Voltage measures correctly but when under a load (like starting) too much voltage drops across that cable causing a low voltage condition at the starter and glow plugs. You have downloaded the manuals...

    Hard Starting and my plan

    Easy to confirm, just trace wires and or measure the voltage at the top of the glow plug relay with the key off. If you read 12v the 12V conversion has been done. Most people around here indicate that hard hot starts are an IP problem. Did the PO install a new IP, a rebuilt IP or a used IP...

    M1009 Burning smell from dash?

    If plastic melted something got hot. If you can smell it when using the vehicle something is still getting hot. Poor electrical connections act like the heating element in a toaster. If you are not carrying a fire extinguisher I recommend you do so until you resolve this problem.

    charging prob and voltage drop on m1009

    Yes, just ground the light blue wire from the glow plug relay with a momentary switch for manual glow plug control. Grounds are probably the most overlooked connections on CUCVs. Glad to hear you got it started and thank you for the AAR (after action report) as it help others who read the this...

    charging prob and voltage drop on m1009

    No. The glow plug module controls the glow plug relay and wait light and nothing more. If the glow plug module is not working it will not activate the glow plug relay. No glow plugs means no or at best hard cold starts.
